Take time to collect mushrooms. It tastes better this way and the meal is much more interesting.
Don’t get too hung up on mixing flour with mushrooms, onions and peppers. Once you add the flour and milk, everything will be fine. Strain the chili carefully because you do not want the juice to add flavor or color to your dish.
Frozen peas are the most delicious in this dish. They retain their color, texture and flavor during cooking much better than raw or fresh.
For lower fat content, reduce butter and cream by half. It will still taste good, but not as rich.
If the mixture is too thick, add chicken broth, a quarter cup at a time, to thicken.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Heat in the microwave on low power or on the stove.
Great, really great at first. Then place them in freezer bags. Place freezer bags in a single layer on parchment paper and place the paper in the freezer. Once completely cooled, place the bags on the side of the refrigerator to save space. Put it in the refrigerator overnight.
